The way the matter has been conducted
was for w. u. Dewey, the member of the
board who has charge of lighting the
streets, to give the first of each month tC
the superintendent of the Electric Light
company. list of the nights that the
lights shall be lighted during the month
These nights are decided On by consult

was to be a moon. On such nights the
streets must not be lighted no matter if is
stormy and dark. On several occasions
when it has been suggested to Mr.. Dewey
that 1t would be proper to have Il light, he
has refused to allow it. The bailitfs have
